 The bridge that collapsed near the Ovčar spa was not in use for years!

Only local residents knew that the bridge had been out of use for a long time and that strict rules had to be followed to cross it. The bridge collapsed due to the heavy load.

Two people died and at least 11 were injured when a suspension bridge across the West Morava River in central Serbia collapsed, Serbian media reported on Thursday.

The incident occurred at about 08.00 GMT when a group of 20 tourists from Bosnia and Herzegovina walked along the bridge near the city of Cacak, the Tanjug news agency reported.

Eleven people with injuries were taken to the hospital in Cacak.

About 80 doctors and rescuers are still working at the scene, the report added.
